The alarming disease CT this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but It is essen
TALLY the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
..onal and public men are SO
requent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parent reason, or under so-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source Of insanity and csimc
with all their grief and horror.
These facts ere startling.
They threaten the very life OF
The nation. They assail the
brings Of it's power and pros
,erity. They wrecE manhood,s
strength and wonlan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
2nswer is easy and terribly
,lain: Our vicious persona
labits; our careless and lawIess
,ating and drin-inc; the in
.ense mentala and pilvslcal strait
rising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and STRUGGLES Of pow
erty; the use OF narcotics and
sti1nulants; cur fashion OF
turning day into night and
night into Cay; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, i'll plain Eng
ISL, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
seated in the Nerves and in
he organs Of Digestion, Assin-
-~llatlon and Nutrition. Healthy
igestion being impeded OF des-
coyed, the whole body, nerve
lcluded, is literally starred;
ven when there is no emaci-
4tion to tell the sad story.
Nervous prosration sen9
ut its warnings :-headach
Il the morning; 9 persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base Of the brain; vva--,ffulness;
loss of appetite and disgust with
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties end
business; restlessness ard anx-
iety without any enable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional c~iddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
lowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure OF
strength and ambition.
The ren1edJ is o total aban-
donment of Tie habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Eatract of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief alreauy done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of MT. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion OF bile, ex-
peHlng waste matters from the
system, land purifying the blood.
Upon tie nervous system
Shaker Eat'act(Seigel'sSyrup)
acts as a safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to regain their nat
ural tone and strength through
it's wonderful influence upon
the function of nutrition.
1t is safe to say more nerv-
Gus dyspeptics have been re-
stored by it from the depths
of misery to a fresh enjoyment
of life and labor than by any
or all other forms Of treatment
combined.
